Trish Stratus, a WWE Hall of Famer and seven-time WWE Women’s Champion, has made a major return to the spotlight by gracing the cover of the Inside Fitness Magazine after a 12-year hiatus. This achievement marks a significant milestone in her career, as she has been involved in various projects outside of wrestling, including magazine covers and other endeavors.

Stratus recently took to Twitter to share a photo of the unreleased magazine, expressing her excitement and gratitude for being featured on the cover once again. She noted that it has been 12 years since her last cover appearance, and joked that the fourth time was indeed the charm. The photo included a caption that read, “Fourth time’s a charm! It’s been a minute since there’s been some Stratusfaction on the cover of Inside Fitness – 12 years to be exact! But here we are! Preorder 11.29.24.”

Stratus’s comment on the delay in her return to the cover of the magazine sparked a wave of nostalgia among fans, who have fond memories of her wrestling career and numerous magazine covers. The 48-year-old wrestler has been remembered as one of, if not the greatest female wrestlers of all time, and her recent addition to the Inside Fitness Magazine cover is a testament to her enduring fame and influence.

In addition to her recent magazine cover, Stratus also made a notable comment about WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia, stating that she would love to see Garcia inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Stratus revealed that she believes in the power of manifestation and threw out the idea of Garcia’s induction into the universe, implying that she hopes the idea will become a reality. This comment suggests that Stratus is still invested in the WWE and its community, even after her retirement from in-ring competition.

Stratus’s last match in the WWE took place at Payback 2023, where she engaged in a Steel Cage Match against Becky Lynch. More recently, she hosted the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event, which took place in Toronto, Canada. Despite no longer being an active competitor, Stratus remains a beloved figure within the WWE and its legacy, cementing her place as a pioneering female wrestler and a true icon in professional wrestling.

Trish Stratus’s recent return to the cover of Inside Fitness Magazine marks a significant milestone in her career, and her comments on Lilian Garcia’s potential Hall of Fame induction demonstrate her continued connection to the WWE and its community. Whether or not Stratus will return to in-ring competition remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – she will always be remembered as a trailblazing female wrestler and a true legend of the sport.
